Damaged mantles must be replaced prior to starting. • Make sure that burner and other burning accessories are tightened. • DO NOT USE INDOORS. Light your lantern in a well ventilated area away from combustible or heat sensitive material. • Your lantern has been designed to use multiple fuels. Burning of any fuel other than kerosene may cause your lantern to burn and/or act differently. Refer to page 15 for multi-fuel operation. • Do not tip or turn lantern on its side or any other direction other than vertical. • Be sure not to place your lantern on delicate or flammable surfaces. • Do not let your lantern burn unattended. • Keep lantern away from children and never let children play with lantern. • Do not place anything on top of or over your lantern. • While lantern is in operation touch only the fuel tank. You risk se- verely burning and injuring yourself by touching anywhere above the tank. • Allow lantern to cool for at least 30 minutes after use before attempt- ing to touch, store or repair. • Use the bleeder screw to release tank pressure after every use. • Do not open pressure gauge assembly, add or remove fuel while lantern is in operation. • Do not look directly into the burning mantle. • Do not inhale any exhaust being given off during lantern burning. • Do not leave lantern in the “on” position when not in use. • Always empty the fuel tank before storing your lantern. • Keep Pre-Heater tube clean and clear at all times • Never burn old or dirty fuel in your lantern. BriteLyt assumes no responsibility or liability due to improper use. Using anything other than BriteLyt brand replacement parts will result in the expiration and cancellation of your lantern’s factory warranty.
